From cold it will start and warm up, idle perfectly fine. As soon as i drive the car down the road a few hundred yards it will start to kangaroo around and stall. It will start perfectly fine again and idle straightaway, as soon as i put into gear and push accelerator it will cut out, it will keep on doing this until the battery goes flat!

It started a few days ago, but i just revved it up and dumped the gear and got going, but this morning it got much worse and I had to leave the car at home. I bought this car with absoubulely knackered spark plugs, after i changed them the car was fine, but now it is playing up i suspect the plugs i will check them again. Is there any issues on these with distributor cap adjustments or HT leads, cut out switch?

yeh i can get injector cleaner from work, but i don't think thats the problem. Iam running it on super unleaded which in UK is 99 octane rated, will check the filter anyway. I just drove the car tonight for a short journey and it was fine did not splutter at all

My '96 started bucking on acceleration. I learned to "drive around" the problem while trying to diagnose it going down the road to work and back everyday. I was 99% sure it was a plugged catalytic converter, leaving 1% that it might be plugs/wires.

I went the cheap & easy route and replaced the plugs and wires first... no more bucking.
